2 0 Architecture Description
Transmitter
The Transmitter Block accepts 10-bit bytes composed of 8
bits data 1 bit parity and 1 bit control information from the
Configuration Switch
The Transmitter Block performs the following operations
During normal operation the Transmitter Block presents se-
rial data to the PMD transmitter While in Internal Loopback
mode the Transmitter Block presents serial data to the Re-
ceiver Block While in the External Loopback mode the
Transmitter Block presents serial data to the Clock Recov-
ery Module
Clock Generation Module
The Clock Generation Module is an integrated phase locked
loop that generates all of the required clock signals for the
PLAYER
12 5 MHz reference
The Clock Generation Module features
Station Management (SMT) Support
The Station Management Support Block provides a number
of useful features to simplify the implementation of the Con-
nection Management (CMT) portion of SMT
These features eliminate the time critical CMT response
time constraints imposed by PC React and CF React
times
Integrated counters and timers eliminate the need for addi-
tional external devices
The following are the CMT features supported
2 2 INTERFACES
The PLAYER
functional interfaces PMD Interface PHY Port Interface
Control Bus Interface Clock Interface and the Miscellane-
ous Interface
Encodes the data from 4B to 5B coding
Filters out code violations from the data stream
Generates Idle Master Halt Quiet or other user defined
symbol pairs upon request
Converts the data stream from NRZ to NRZI format for
transmission
Provides smoothing function when necessary
High precision clock timing generated from a single
12 5 MHz reference
Multiple precision phased (8 ns 16 ns) 12 5 MHz Local
Byte Clocks to eliminate timing skew in large multi-board
concentrator configurations
LBC timing which is insensitive to loading variations over
a wide range (20 pF to 70 pF) of LBC loads
A selectable dual frequency system clock
Low clock edge jitter due to high VCO stability

PMD Interface
The PMD Interface connects the PLAYER
standard FDDI Physical Media Connection such as a fiber
optic transceiver or a copper twisted pair transceiver It is a
125 MHz full duplex serial connection
The DP83256-AP and DP83257 PLAYER
two PMD interfaces The Primary PMD Interface should be
used for all PMD implementations that do not require an
external scrambler descrambler function clock recovery
function or clock generation function such as a Fiber Optic
or Shielded Twisted Pair (SDDI) PMD The second Alter-
nate PMD Interface can be used to support Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) PMDs that require external scrambling
and allows implementation with no external clock recovery
or clock generation functions required
PHY Port Interface
The PHY Port Interface connects the PLAYER
one or more MAC devices and or PLAYER
PHY Port Interface consists of two byte-wide interfaces one
for PHY Request data input to the PLAYER
one for the PHY Indicate data output of the PLAYER
vice Each byte-wide interface consists of a parity bit (odd
parity) a control bit and two 4-bit symbols
The DP83257 PLAYER
es while the DP83256 has one PHY Port Interface
Control Bus Interface
The Control Bus Interface connects the PLAYER
to a wide variety of microprocessors and microcontrollers
The Control Bus is an asynchronous interface which pro-
vides access to 64 8-bit registers which monitor and control
the behavior of the PLAYER
The Control Bus Interface allows a user to
The Control Bus Interface also can be used to perform the
following functions
Clock Interface
The Clock Interface is used to configure the Clock Genera-
tion Module and to provide the required clock signals for an
FDDI system
The following clock signals are generated
Miscellaneous Interface
The Miscellaneous Interface consists of
Configure SMT features
Program the Configuration Switch
Enable disable functions within the Transmitter and Re-
ceiver Blocks (i e NRZ NRZI Encoder Smoother PHY
Request Data Parity Line State Generation Symbol pair
Injection NRZ NRZI Decoder Cascade Mode etc )
Monitor Line States received
Monitor link errors detected by the Receiver Block
Monitor other error conditions
